The method

A practice in three parts.

01
Write by hand

Open your Margin journal and write. The wide left margin is your space to annotate, question, and react to your own thinking as it emerges.

02
Scan & reflect

Photograph your pages with the Margin app. Your AI companion reads what you wrote and asks the questions that push you further — not flattery, genuine inquiry.

03
See the pattern

Every week, Margin synthesises your entries into a personal recap — your wins, recurring themes, and the question worth sitting with this week.

Paper thinks differently.

Most journaling apps ask you to type into a phone. Margin starts with a physical journal — forest green cloth cover, cream paper, a wide left margin built into every page. The physical act of writing is part of the method.

A5 hardcover, cream 100gsm paper — fountain pen safe
25mm left margin on every page — space to annotate your own thinking
Two-page daily spread — structured left, open right
QR code inside front cover activates the app companion
240 pages — roughly 4 months of daily practice
Today's prompt
What did you avoid starting last week...
I keep telling myself I'll begin once the timing...
Wins this week
You had the conversation you'd been postponing for six weeks — and it went better than feared.
Recurring pattern
You write most clearly on mornings when you didn't check your phone first. You've noted this three times now.
This week's question
What would you do differently if you assumed things would probably work out?

Not generic. Specific to you.

Every Sunday, Margin reads your week back to you — not a summary, but a synthesis. The wins you didn't register. The patterns you couldn't see from inside them. The question that's actually worth your attention this week.
